As part of a strategic investment for a transformative expansion of the faculty of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, Biophysics at Johns Hopkins is poised for significant growth in the coming years. To this end, the Thomas C. Jenkins Department of Biophysics (https://biophysics.jhu.edu/) invites applications for tenure/tenure-track appointments at all ranks in the fields of theoretical and computational biophysics. We encourage applicants who seek to understand the physical chemistry, structure, function, and assembly of biomolecules, their integration into subcellular and cellular structures, and time-dependent processes spanning molecular and cellular scales. We welcome candidates who use machine-learning and artificial intelligence methods to enhance their research programs.

We seek faculty colleagues who have an established interest in promoting equity and inclusion among diverse scientists, and our search is structured to minimize bias and provide equal opportunity to all applicants. Please submit your application files including a CV, statement of current and future research, and a statement of teaching interests and philosophy through Interfolio - http://apply.interfolio.com/155035. Please also arrange to have three confidential letters of recommendation submitted through Interfolio. A complete description of how to prepare the application documents and additional information on our search can be found below.

Submitted applications will be reviewed on a continuous basis. Priority consideration will be given to applications that are complete by October 22, 2024.

The anticipated starting date of the appointment is July 1, 2025. The expected academic base salary range for this position is: $100,000 – $316,000.

We aim to attract the best scientists to our department, to join a thriving and collegial biophysics community at Johns Hopkins University. Applicants must submit the five documents listed below and arrange for 3 letters of recommendation. The criteria for evaluating each component of an application are provided in the linked rubrics. These rubrics are intended to emphasize the scientific qualifications and promise of each applicant and reduce emphasis on personal identity or community affiliations that can lead to subjective bias.
